Looks like on Thursday, December 15th there was a Google search algorithm shift. We have some chatter on social media and in the WebmasterWorld forums. It seems like a significant one, but I am hoping this is just a bug or something and that Google did not push anything massive a week or so away from the holidays.
Here are some of the comments from the thread:

A new Google Update might be underway. Let's wait and see happy!

The tools are on fire, here are some screen shots:
Mozcast:
SERP Metrics:
Algoroo:

I am writing this now and not the typical morning post because I am not feeling too hot and I am not sure how much energy I'll have in the morning to write.
